On the other hand, Tom Cruise had me lughing my ass off. If only the rest of the cast were right there.

As to your first point, I was never in the service, so I don't really have your perspective on that one, although I certainly understand where you're coming from. The POW camp thing, well, it was a spoof comedy. To expect realistic isn't, well, um, realistic I guess.

And yeah, Tom Cruise was a scream. "Who's the key grip here? Ok, I want you to go punch that director hard as shit right in the face." LOL

Robert Downey Jr. was great too.
